And the enemy is turned against himself

[Napkiraly]

I am sorry.

You can't beat the land that spawned Jesse Ventura

You are more like Billy Sole :^)

Billy was of half-Sioux Indian, half-Italian descent[3] and it was from his native people that he learned his exemplary tracking skills.

half-Sioux Indian, half-Italian

Apart from the whole slavery thing, America was much better in 1700's

tbh it was freer

You're much older than I imagined.

Your mistake was using your imagination

[New Emeline]

Aye

For some of the population. Also diseases.
No matter how much life might suck now, I'll take it over the past.

[Northeast American Federation]

Aye

No matter how much life might suck now, I'll take it over the past.

The past didn't have Orwellian surveillance states and WMDs though.

[Napkiraly]

The 1700's didn't have Vaporwave.

But it did have slavery, and much shorter lifespans, strict societal roles, a shit ton of diseases and conditions we can deal with now, no education unless you were rich...

[The Parkus Empire]

Aye

We have new epidemics now

Lifespans in America were fine.

True, but everything else mentioned still stands.
We are also better equipped to deal with non-bacteria/virus caused medical issues.

The rest still stands my friend. I'll take now over the 1700s, thanks.

[The East Marches II]

Fuck. This is a super valid point

Ah yes, those eeeevil social roles involving men working and women staying home with the children. Much better now with men and women both at work while the kids are at home eating Tide pods.

And I thought the whole free college movement in the US was a thing because higher education is still regarded as inaccessible by some.

First of all, like 3 idiots ate tide pods and that's a tired talking point anyway.
Being someone who happens to be a woman who happens to want to be able to pursue higher education and a job, I think I like it now.

[New Emeline]

Also I didn't say higher education, I said any education at all.

[The Parkus Empire]

Higher education had little to do with occupation back then, but you did not have to be "rich" to have it. Primary education had public schools as well, funded by taxes

[New Emeline]

I'm not denying the present isn't all fairies and butterflies or claiming that the past was entirely sucky, I just don't think things were objectively better and trying to revert backwards isn't going to help anyone.
